Winslow board rejects low bidder as nonresponsive, awards security services to Semper Secure

At the Jan. 14 meeting the board considered bid 20‑26‑10 for security staff. The business administration report noted the apparent low bidder, Discwriter Inc., was rejected as nonresponsive and the contract recommendation moved to the next apparent low bidder, Semper Secure.

A board member explained that the bid from Discwriter Inc. was judged nonresponsive and that the board would proceed with awarding to Semper Secure. The report and related motions were placed before the board and approved by roll call; several members recorded abstentions on particular agenda pages and items as noted in the minutes.

Why it matters: awarding a contract for on‑site security staff affects school safety operations and district procurement spending. The board’s action replaced the apparent low bidder with the next responsive bidder following the bid‑evaluation procedure described at the meeting.

What’s next: the business office will proceed with contract finalization with Semper Secure and will publish the award and related documentation in accordance with procurement policy.
